You have to be a bit of a liar to tell a story the right way.

It is quite a thing. There are so many men, all endlessly trying to sweep me off my feet. And there is one of you, trying just the opposite. Making sure my feet are firm beneath me lest I fall.

Did I ever mention I used to be a delivery driver too? I was. I can read a map. What’s more, using a brilliant mixture of zen navigation, Aristotelian logic, and pure rage I can get you your package and/or delicious sandwich relatively close to on-time.

Some people are going to be impatient no matter what. If I wrote two books a year, someone out there would be pissed I wasn't writing three.

A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet introspection

I'm not a speed writer. I write slowly and revise obsessively. The end result tends to be good. That's where my strength is.

I can't count the men who have tried to seduce me away from my virtue by teaching me how to defend it.
